Abstract
Today, undergraduate Computer Science Education teaches mechanics without teaching problem solving. Typical curricula include courses in assembler languages, compiler theory, list processing, and automata theory. Every MS degree holder, and most BS degree holders, know Polish notation and have written parts of compilers. However, few of them have ever learned to write a program that can be easily enhanced or respond to changes as new management (instructor) requirements are set forth. Even fewer can read a program and describe what it does or debug a system consisting of ten or more modules.

The Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) supports and promotes the teaching of computer science and other computing disciplines at the K-12 educational level. During this presentation we will explore the issues for K-12 computer teachers, the ...
Computer science-education outreach: an interdisciplinary collaboration (abstract only)
SIGCSE '13: Proceeding of the 44th ACM technical symposium on Computer science educationA recent focus in CS education has been at the K-12 level, developing CS and computational thinking skills. Oftentimes CS programs find it difficult to get into schools. At St. Scholastica a unique partnership exists between CS and Education. Together ...
